Wald tests for the fixed effects. The random effects are reported as standard deviations and correlations (varcorr) with Wald intervals built on a transformed scale and mapped back: \(\exp\) of the interval for \(\log SD\), \(\tanh\) of the interval for \(\mathrm{atanh}(\rho)\) (delta method from the packed Cholesky parameters). No test or p-value is given for them: a z-test of \(\log SD\) tests \(SD = 1\), and \(SD = 0\) lies on the boundary; use anova.brsmm (chi-bar-square mixture) against the model without the term. The randomized quantile residuals are drawn without changing the caller's RNG state.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'brsmm'
summary(object, level = 0.95, ...)

Arguments

object

A fitted "brsmm" object.

level

Confidence level of the varcorr intervals.

...

Currently ignored.

Value

Object of class "summary.brsmm"; coefficients$random holds the packed Cholesky parameters (estimate and standard error only) and varcorr the SD/correlation table.
